I've asked this question in the past, and was told to stick with Castrol for the best LSPI control. Has anything changed in the last year and a half in that regard? I'm going to do my pre cold weather change soon and need to pick an oil, or just stick with what I've been using.
My main concern is my Cruze with the newer 1.4T that is VERY LSPI prone. I do have an aftermarket tune from Trifecta so I'm running a few PSI more boost than stock, picking up around 40hp or so. I do strict changes between 3 - 5k depending on what I have coming up, season, and if I've been short tripping or not. I've been running the Castrol EP 5w30, since its only a few dollars more than regular Edge.
Can anyone do what Castrol EP does better, in my situation?
